THE RECORD OF THE COURTS.
Supreme Court.

supreme COurI
Hon. Byron e. Elliott. Chief Justice.
The following opinions were rendered Feb. z:
PENDING ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
SUMPTION.
I2763 John H. Bryan VS.. John FL. Scholl
Clinton c. G. Affirmed. Mitchell, J.-Where.
in suit in eiectment, answer in abatement
alleged that the plaintiff had recovered Judgment
in foreclosures; that the defendant had filed bis
complaint for review of that judgment, and,
upon decision that he was not entitled to
review, that he had prayed an appeal to the SUI
preme Court; that he had filed An appeal bond,
and had directed the clerk to make a transcript,
which he intended to file in the office OF the
Clerk Of the Supreme Court, such answer IS
bad on demurrer. It shows afirmatively
that no appeal had been perfect
ed. and if it had been shown,
that would not abate A plea of prior action
pending to abate must show that the action
pending is between the same parties and for the
same cause that involved in the action which
| is sought to be abated III demurrer to
plea in abatement that the answer does not state
facts sufficient to constitute of defense
is sufficient. (3 The admission in evidence OF
the decree of foreclosure, the certified copy IS
sued to the sheriff, and his return of the sale
was not erroneous, although they do not state
the county in which the land was situate Both
the decree and notice, however. contained
descriptions of the lands. and it will be presumed
they were in the State, and Clinton county, be-
ing the only county with such township, etc, 1t
conclusively follows that the land is in Clinton
county.
DEMONSTRATING LIQUOR ON SUNDAY.
1862 Benjamin w. Tilford VS.. The State.
| Morgan, C. G. Affirmed. Elliott, G. 1.-The
| statute requiring that druggist shall not sell
| liquor except on written prescription is i'm
| perative The statute makes no exception and
| the court will not create any, except in clear
| cases and where there is imperious necessity.
The fact that appellant was physician will not
| excuse him.
SCHOOL FUND-TowNsHIP TRUsTEE-MANDATE.
| 1898. John Zostman. trustee. VS.. State ex
rel John Champ ct al Miami c. @. Reversed.
| Niblack, J.-Where the expenditure OF any
| school fund has been lawfully anticipated the
| fund becomes thereby implicitly pledged or set
| apart to the use to which it has become so ap-
| piled in advance, and in such the trustees
| Of the school town cannot, by mandate, compel

| funds.
FORECLOSURE OF NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
1884 Second Baptist Church tcolored) vs..
| Franklin Furber ct al Marion S. c. Affirmed.
| Howk jim a suit to foreclose mortgage, the
! instrument purported to be the mortgage of the
| several makers. By the averments of the com
| plant it appears that church, being in debt
| authorized officers ard agents to borrow money,
| which they did, and the church applied such
| money to the payment of debts and to building
| purposes. No reference to the church was
| made in the mortgage. Held that such com
plant against the church was sufficient on de

The King Locomotive.

Up to the present time the indianapolis divis
ion of the Pennsylvania lines has been credited
with running the heaviest and most powerful
passenger engines run in this country, they
weighing 10000 pounds, and handling the heavy
express trains of the G.. st. L. s. P with the
greatest ease, and at the same time making high
speed if required SO to do. Now the Pennsyl-
vania Company will needs to step to one side
and give a New England road the lead in the
line of locomotives as, on Monday last the
Rhode Island locomotive works completed what
is said to be the largest and fastest passenger To-
connective ever built, and turned it over to its
owner the New York. Providence & Boston
railroad. 1t is designed to run between Provi-
dence and Groton, Conn, and is expected to
draw eight cars over the road between the two
ponts-a distance of 62 niles-in 625 min
utes. including a full stop at the Mystic draw
bridge. Everything about the locomotive is
steel; there is not particle Of brass or bright
work. The weight of the engine proper is SO 900
to 90, 600 pounds and to make the fire before
starting from the roundhouse will require three
tons of hard coal. Four tons more, and 4 600
gallons of water will be carried in the tender
The boiler is "a inches in diameter at the smoke

ders Is inches, with 24-inch stroke the fre-box

A few mornings since the Journal contained
an article based on the statement of an official
of the l., B. & w. road, to the effect that the
Pennsylvania Company Disseminated against
the l., B. e W. by ignoring them in their chart
of forms of tickets sold by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company. E. A. Ford, general passen-
agent of the Pennsylvania lines west Of
Pittsburg, takes exceptions to this statement
MIR. Ford says that the company ne represents
has on sale at all their principal stations be-
tween Newark, go, and Pittsburg, inclusive,
tickets reading over the l.. B. & w. road to
principal points in the West via Columbus and
via Indianapolis.

1t will be a cold day. SAYS one of the ticket
seal pcrs, who is the brightest one in the bust
ness. when We get left He then when on to
cay that the interstate commerce bill was just the
thing the scalpers needed to help them out He
admitted that the passenger agents associa-
tions injurng their business with the
Tightening of their grip scalpers and this
bill was godsend to them, he thought, as the
short lines under the interstate commerce bill
would get the dlfferentia rate, and the long
lines would want the business, and would look
to the scapers to help them out, and would, of
course, pay handsome commissions in a ol..et
way to the scapers.
Without question. President Ingalls,, of the
O., T., St. L. 81 c., proposes to extend his line
westward this spring from Columbus, Ind. but
there is good deal OF guess work IN the state
ment made oy one of the St Louis papers to the
effect he would establish St Louis line via Co.
lumbus There is good authority for saying that
his only object in building westward from that
point is to reach into the coal fields and lumber
regions OF western and southwestern Indiana.
AT present the Big Four has no coal traffic
worthy of mention except what it gets from its
elevator at North Bend-Pittsburg coal From
this source. however. the road secures quite a
respectable revenue annually.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Feb 2-The managers of the
Central Traffic Association held meeting in
Commissioner Blanchards Office to-day. There
was a large attendance, but the interstate
commerce bill, which was to have furnished the
principal theme for discussion, had not been
signed by President Cleveland, it was deemed
unadvisable to debate the bill, take any action
with reference to it until 1t had become law. It
was decided, however, to refer all matters per-
tanning to the bill to the executive committee of
the association, which is to meet at Cleveland
next Tuesday. A resolution was adopted pledg-
ing roads embraced in the association to the alb
solute maintenance of rates. It was alto re-
solved that it was the of the meeting til ut
the present association and pool contracts in ex-
istence Hereunder, be continued, and the obi
cation involved therein be carried out in good
faith until the interstate bill becomes operative.
